What to Do When Key Players in the Insurance Industry Are Negligent — And You Experience Loss as a Result

Our clients are often stunned to discover that they have been misled or taken advantage of when dealing with insurance brokers, agents and claims adjusters. Upon review of our clients’ cases, we often find that they have good reason to bring professional malpractice claims against insurance industry personnel, including:

Insurance agents: Did your auto insurance agent fail to offer you or explain to you the importance of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage? Did he or she misrepresent the terms of your policy?

Insurance brokers: Did your broker direct you in a way counter to your interests, for the sole purpose of making a larger commission? Were time-sensitive documents delayed due to oversight? Were you sold the wrong type of insurance? Did your broker accept payment from you and fail to pass it on to the insurer, resulting in a lapsed policy?
